Short term goals are important

I first heard the idea that (parents) should "aim for better, not for perfect" on an episode of CityLine which had Joe Rich of "Parenting -- The Long Journey."

I think it's a terrific adage -- unless of course, you're my neurosurgeon. Then, by all means, aim for perfect!
